WASHINGTON, June 20.-The sigma
Service weather-crop bulletin for the past
week reports that during the week the
weather h IS been warmer than the aver.
age, except at stations on the Atlantic
and gulf coasts, in the West Gulf States
and on the Pacific coast north Of San
Francisco. In the wheat and corn regions
of the North the excess of temperature
for the week has been from twenty-five tc
seventy degrees, and average daily excess
above the nominal of four to ten de.
grees. The greatest excess of tempera'
ture occurred in the Northwest, and the
weather conditions of the week are re
ported as especially favorable for
corn and wheat, except in sec.
tions of Illinois, Iowa and
Eastern Missouri, where all crops except
corn have been more or less injured by
the drought In the cotton regions the
temperature has differed but slightly
from the normal, except In Arkansas and
Texas, where the daily average has been
from two to three uegrees cooler than
usual. In the tobacco region, west of the
Alleghenys the daily excess OF tempe ra-
ture ranged from three to four degrees,
while TO the eastward it has differed
but slightly from the normal for the
week. The temperature for the season
from January to June, 1887, in the cotton
and corn regions has been in excess Of the
daily average, ranging from one to two
degrees, while on the South Atlantic and
North Pacific coasts and in Northern
California, the temperature for the season
has been slightly below the normal.
During the week there has been de.
ficiency of rainfall generally throughout
the arlcultural regions east Of the Rocky
Mountains, except in sections Of Mich
gan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Nebraska and
Kansas, where slight excuses are report
ed. The greatest deficiency Of rainfall
occurred in the Southern States, the
Lower Ohio and Central Mississippi va
levs. This deficiency in the cotton region
has net probably as yet affected the croI
unfavorably, owing to the numerous and
well distributed showers Of the previous
week. Reports generally show that more
rain is needed in that section. Sigh
/ deficiencies of rainfall are also reported
in New England, but generally Throughout
the Northern States numerous and wei
distributed showers have occurred, excep
In Illinois, where rain is much needed
The large seasonal deficiency Of rainfall
in the Southern States has been increased
during the week and now ranges from tel
to sixteen inches in the cotton region
The seasonal deficiency in Iowa, Illinoi!
and Southern Wisconsin exceeds fivD
inches, while an excess Of five inches il
reported from the North Pacific coast anC
the Upper Ohio valley.
The week has been generally favorable
for the staple crops. There has beer
more than the average amount of sun
shine in the central valleys, and tn
weather has been especially favorable
for harvesting, which has been largel!
completed for wheat and hay in tn
Southern States.
